Heater Safety
Before operating the unit, perform the following checks:
1.
Verify the fan, heater and transition units are bolted securely together. Verify the screen guard is
secured in place.
2.
Verify the units are wired in compliance with the national electrical code, and the ground wire is of
sufficient size to provide lightening protection.
3.
Verify the gas supply is installed correctly according to instructions.
4.
Provide sufficient bin exhaust vents or fans, and verify that they are open and operational before
starting the drying system. These vents or fans are necessary to provide an exhaust path for moisture
laden air (reducing condensation), and also to prevent pressurization of the bin above the grain mass
and causing damaging loads on the bin and roof structure. Do not operate units when conditions are
such that freezing of the vents could occur.
